Target Ticket is a unique take on a very popular streaming video platform.

Target (TGT 0.18%) just introduced a streaming video service. The so-called Target Ticket service is based on a very popular platform: Wal-Mart (WMT -0.08%) uses the same Rovi Entertainment Store solution for its Vudu service, Best Buy (BBY -0.25%) powers its CinemaNow product the same way, and DISH Networks ' (DISH) Blockbuster On Demand is another take on the same turnkey solution.

What sets Target's offering apart from other Rovi stores? Should Netflix (NFLX -0.63%) investors worry about Target invading its streaming video turf? Fool contributor Anders Bylund answers these key questions and more in the video clip below.
